I suggest a Crius Master V (RM 1,300). Already 9 speed and loaded with Litepro parts. Balance 200 bucks can upgrade to better tires.

Or you could go with a Dahon Route or Tern Link B7

same like me lah.. after finish ride just view the avg speed. but when ur signal lost, all of ur avg speed will be drop as well.

i adopt the speed/cadence sensor (combo).having a speed sensor can be handy, also it can be used indoor with trainer or roller.

eh ken,
u still waxing ur chain?

All my chains are wax lube. No more oil for me… forever…

The main reason i bought the speed sensor, is to use it with roller. Im lucky so far i never encounter with the lost gps signal issue, even when offroading.

Nowadays, the only numbers that i put my sight most during riding, is cadence and heart rate. Average speed, yeah, once in a while. Those cadence and heart rate datas will dictate my choice gearing. And, yeah, on the contrast of my earlier cycling days, i use em all now, those gears, whenever possible. So i guess i migrated from a grinder to a spinner now. Heeeheee

I scare die, the HRM is for making sure I don't die on the bike over worked. The cadence is for making sure I torture myself enough.
Average speed is for making sure I get home before the gate is locked…

pm me ur number ken, lost oledi lor 😅

talking about heart rate 😅



last sunday ride.. err, i think i overshoot 😆

Careful bro. Overshooting your heart rate is not good for your heart muscle.

Very overshot ooooo! When I was in better condition, I try to stay with +/- 20bpm of average.

no jokes man, i witness one guy collapsed and went to see his maker on GCE.
Brand new bikes.

Max heart rate = 220 - age
This is for non-active people...
One can go deeper into heart rate zone details but if one is not bothered at least know your max heart rate.
One can also measure your max heart rate after one attain a heart rate monitoring device.
At the least watch out for your engine rev redline.

the nice guy that belanja my lunch during my audax, collapsed on his ride less than a month later. same issue. never had the chance to pay his good courtesy. he was an active cyclist and a randonneur. i think his name is Victor Wong. The Bukit Mertajam Audax was dedicated to him. his cycling buddy were with him that time. there's a long post of infos that he shared from IJN of what caused such incidents to athletes/cyclist etc. need to dig out his fb posts.

btw, i got infos about heart rate from a doctor which is also a cycling buddy. long story short, don't hi revs too much.

yes, for most people, 220-age is a good guide. although it's not absolutely accurate, it's good enough for the general population. factors like genetics, heart conditions etc may caused max heart rate differs from person to person.

normally, Stress Test is used to get the accurate max heart rate data.

Victor Wong RIP

wah..What magic special wax u guys using?
Im trying the Adreno wax and its works good so far..only not so cost effective for price/ml per bottle.

Keen to try out the SquirtLube soon..price /ml seems cheap compared to other lubes.

Speaking of the Heart rate sensor thingy...im not into this stuff yet, and have not much idea what the purpose of it for cycling. RB frens use them, just didnt thought foldie kakis use them too.
To our heart rate training zone and not to overblown fuse?

Homebrew Wax Chap OlangTua. Wax is very cost effective (free) but it looks like preparing the chain (Degreasing) is too expensive for the general public. So far only 3 takers in over 1.5years of free waxing offering. (One of them donated the complete bike immediately after I go all the way to install my used waxed chain on the bike. Test pun x test)

All hectic sport are dangerous… HRM is your engine rev meter…

Cycling is a hectic sport. If you treat it as a sport la.
If all one do is leisure rolling to the mamak stall and kedai runcit without breaking a sweat, the danger is running down by cars and not heart failure.

last sunday event ~ Kampar Majesty Ride

i wanted to ask you guys foldies how did you make payment for an overpriced foldies like brompton because i saw a folding bike i like but cost over 6k instead of java model under 2k. i just graduated and started to work need portable transport to move around city but at price like that just started to work sounds impossible. does bike shop offer some installment or did you guys get some personal loan from bank? would like to listen for advice and wanted to avoid high interest payment rate from aeon service.

by cash or 0% interest monthly payment using credit card i guess.why not go for a cheaper bike?

i don't have credit card yet and cheaper bike i see like java model is very heavy and cumbersome to fold immediately especially in bus or entering office. brompton seems to be promising and i could use it a lot if travelling around for long term. i saw some low income people able to buy road bike costs rm15000 by loan so i like to find ways how this loan procedure works buying such bicycle the brompton.
